How much would it realistically cost to fix that? 43 miles on the clock!

Also what would you pay for it?

A lot less than the seller wants for it, judging by the fact it was a month old when the advert was first written and was first registered in November.

I'm guessing it's going to be almost impossible to get a new front bumper for it too.

None at wreckers yards yet, and probably no spares at dealers.

I would pay a couple of quid for full details of how it got like that - there's an interesting story there (or maybe not)

I doubt it. New car, not paying attention, rear-ends something.

Cat. D means it'll be a pretty expensive repair in parts alone!

Id be getting a look at it in the flesh before even thinking of bidding, I would suspect theres a good chance of some chassis damage in there.

Also - nearly new car that is now salvage being sold on eBay by someone with a pretty random few items for sale and a mobile number for contact......

If it was at Copart, it'd have a little bit more credibility.

The Facelift, was actually a Faceplant off of the back of a transporter?

I once rear-ended a car that had just come off a transporter & was waiting to be taken into the showroom. It still had its white polythene on. Had a nightmare trying to explain to some chap in an Indian call centre why the car I hit had no registration number. Wasn't quite as bad as this one, but the bumper was hanging offlaugh
